Can you send that to Barry Alvarez? He seems to think the "Big 4" should be on their own.....

Big Ten Notes: Wisconsin AD Alvarez advocates 'super league'

CHAMPAIGN — Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez remained active in college football despite retiring as Badgers coach in 2005.
Alvarez, the only former head football coach present during meetings of conference commissioners who reworked the BCS earlier this year, agreed that a four-team playoff was the best way to determine a national champion. But he’d still like the power conferences to take control.
“I’d like to see a super league,’’ Alvarez told the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register. “I’d like to see a league — Southeastern Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 — and have your own rules. Have rules that you know what the hell they are and that you could actually follow them, and let them have it. We’ve got a lot of rules. There’re a lot of haves and have-nots, and you’re making rules to make the have-nots happy.
“Let the guys who can afford it go do — the guys that are filling those big stadiums, the leagues that have the big TV contracts — let them go. That’s nothing against those other guys. But you can’t let that group hold the entire group back.’’
Even Alvarez asked, will that ever happen?
“I don’t know,’’ he said. “I doubt it, but maybe.’’
